Star Office on Linux and VNC problem.

Just tried, using TightVNC server and client, locally (SPARC Solaris 8,
Sun Blade 100, StarOffice 5.2, vnc startup providing a CDE environment),
and it came up fine; not stuck at the splash screen or anything like that.

Note: I had the depth for the VNC server set to 8 (reason I use it is
mainly to accomodate stupid apps that don't work unless 8-bit depth is
the default, which I otherwise don't like); I haven't tried running
StarOffice under VNC with 24-bit depth, although I don't have any reason
to believe that it won't work.
